Let’s be honest about what this machine is before anyone at the front desk mistakes it for the plotter that runs the bid set. The HP DesignJet H35100 is a wide-format roll printer built for banner vinyl, adhesive vinyl, canvas, backlit film and photo-grade paper — the presentation and signage side of an AEC shop, not the D-size permit set you’re collating at 4:45 p.m.
Think ribbon-cutting boards. Site-hoarding graphics. The rendered elevation the principal wants mounted for the client walkthrough. That’s the job standing at this output tray.

What it actually does well
The width is the story. Up to 54 in wide and up to 96 in long means you print a full presentation board or a stretch of site graphics in one pass. No tiling. No taping seams that show up under gallery lights in front of the client.
The media list is where it separates itself from a plan printer. Banner vinyl, adhesive vinyl, canvas, backlit film, paper. That’s a signage and display feed, not a bond-paper feed. You’re producing things that get mounted, hung, wrapped around a hoarding, or lit from behind in a lobby.
The 7-in touchscreen keeps job setup at the machine. Whoever’s loading the roll can set it up without hunting for a driver on someone’s laptop.
Where it is NOT the right tool
Here’s the part that saves you a bad purchase. This is not your everyday plan plotter. If your daily grind is D-size and E-size drawings — permit sets, redlines, as-builts, bid packages — this machine is the wrong department entirely. It’s a color graphics device fed by rolls of vinyl and film, not the printer you want spitting out fifty monochrome sheets before a submittal deadline.
For that CAD and document work, a plan-oriented machine like the HP DesignJet T918 36-in — an MFP-class plotter with a scanner — is the tool that matches the job, though note it’s discontinued and now lives mostly in the installed base. Want to see them side by side? Compare the H35100 against the T918 and the split is obvious: one prints presentations, the other runs the deadline.
The other practical note: power. This wants a 208–240V single-phase circuit at up to 16 A. Confirm that with your facilities people before delivery day, not after.
Consumables and feeding it
It runs on the HP 788 ink family. On the media side there’s a deep bench of HP roll stock resolved for this machine — from the HP CG415A large format media 45.7 m and HP CG435A large format media through gloss options like the HP CG448A large format media 25 m High-gloss, film such as the HP CG424A printing film, and photo stocks including the HP CG420A photo paper. Whatever the presentation calls for, there’s a matched roll for it.

The read
Buy this for what it is: a wide roll-fed graphics and signage printer that turns renderings, boards, banners and backlit film into finished output up to 54 in wide and 96 in long. It earns its footprint in a firm that produces client-facing display work regularly. If your real problem is stacks of drawings before a submittal, this isn’t it — you want a plan plotter, and you should shop accordingly. Match the machine to the job standing at the tray. Bottom line: right printer for the lobby, wrong printer for the deadline.

Straight answers
Is the H35100 a good everyday plan plotter for D- and E-size drawings?
No. It’s a roll-fed color graphics printer built for vinyl, canvas, film and photo media. For permit sets, redlines and as-builts you want a plan-oriented plotter instead.
What media can it actually print on?
Roll-fed materials including banner vinyl, adhesive vinyl, canvas, paper and backlit film, with a wide range of matched HP roll stocks resolved for the machine.
How wide and how long can it print?
It handles custom media from 24 to 54 in wide and up to 96 in long, so a full presentation board prints in one pass without tiling.
What ink does it use?
It runs on the HP 788 ink family.
What are the power requirements?
200 to 240 V ac, single phase, 50/60 Hz, at up to 16 A. That’s a 208–240V circuit — confirm the outlet with facilities before delivery.
How do I compare it to a document plotter in the same family?
Look at the discontinued HP DesignJet T918 36-in, an MFP-class plan plotter with a scanner. It handles the CAD and document side; the H35100 handles graphics and signage. They solve different problems.
